R-E-S-P-E-C-T: I haven't been inspired to write lately, but from now on, I will try to briefly muse on no more than one topic per day. Today: the death of Rodney Dangerfield. Rodney was one of my favorite comics. He wasn't the guy who invented the one-liner, but he perfected it. Simple concepts, twists, quick in and out, and a great persona. A lot of people hated his humor, but I thought he was the master of the self-deprecating joke. "Caddyshack" and "Back to School" were great showcases for his work, but he soon became old-fashioned, and out-of-date. Maybe the general public gave you no respect, but to me, you deserve all the respect in the world. Rest in peace, Rodney.

An attempt by an aspiring writer, film fan and current bookseller to let loose his pent up feelings, musings and opinions on an unsuspecting world. I hope to use this site to practice my writing and humor skills as well as to flex some film reviewing muscles which have been withering away for about twenty years.

About Me

- Name: Siringo
- Location: Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States
Born in El Paso, TX. Lived in Abeline, TX, Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Denver, Casper, WY and Billings, MT all until I was 14 and we moved back to Albuquerque. Went to Sandia High School and got a BA in Speech Communication at the University of New Mexico. Worked at my father's gift shop in Old Town, Albuquerque off and on since I was 14. Had internships at KUNM-FM and KQEO-AM writing news, and at KNME-TV doing public affairs program production. Did a volunteer overnight free-form DJ shift at KUNM for 2 years, along with film reviews and news reporting for a few more years. Created, shot, edited and performed in numerous shows for Public Access Community Cable Channel 27, including a film review show, a variety/news show, a comedy show, an experimental video show, and a weekly alternative music video show called "The Thursday Beat." I also ran the master control board for two years. Opened my own bookshop in 1993, selling books on the Southwest and Old West. Still going strong. Never married. Two dogs: Golden Retriever cross and a Chihuahua.
